Dialog 1
W: Why can’t I tell interest rate from exchange rate? Who can help me?
M: Well, It is not as difficult as you think. There is a simple way to tell the
difference. When you deposit money with a bank or borrow money from
a bank, you usually earn or pay interest at the set interest rate. If you go to
exchange RMB for some foreign currency, you’ll need to know the current
exchange rate of RMB to that currency. Have you got it?
W: Yeah, I think I’ve got it. The interest rate is the price of local currency on
the local market and the exchange rate is the price of one currency against
another one on the foreign exchange market.
Question: When will exchange rate be used according to the man? (D)

人民币兑换成某种外汇,你就必须知道人民币兑换该外汇的现时汇率。懂
了吗?
女: 是,我想我明白了。利率就是本国市场上本国货币的价格,而汇率就是外汇市
